Do you play out the games or do you let the AI play on autoplay?

Auto play GM only

I play out my games the exact same way.

Bryan Woo looks pretty good to me.

Also Munoz is one of the best 4 out closers in baseball.

Woo is looking good and what in the world is an "out closer"? Is that opposed to a "safe closer"

4 out closer. Someone who pitches 4 outs instead of 3.

I get it though I have never heard it referred to that way. Did you make that up?

I consider myself pretty knowledgeable, and it's the first I've heard of it as well. Different parts of the country, I suppose.

I think I’ve heard the term 4 out save so I think I just got 4 out closer from that.

That makes sense. I am concerned that they are going to burn Munoz out with these long save attempts. Just as I am about the starters going 7 sometimes. They need to trade for two solid receivers soon as their bullpen is really thing with Brash and Santos out. I hear Santos may be back by July but I am not feeling confident in that.

We might need a setup guy more than we need a bat.

They need both but I see your point.

JP Crawford not in lineup against Baltimore due to hand injury.

Game one looked bad and game two is not off to a good start, no bats, once again

[Mariner and Giants Fan]

Nice victory today but I am still waiting for Julio to start hitting with power. His power numbers are so weak this year that I expect him to have a 6 homer 4 doubles and 20 rbi week soon...

I think this Mariners team is a team that needs to get into the playoffs and then once the playoffs start they might get hot because of the pitching staff aka the 2019 Nationals.

That is of course a hope/dream but I would rather see them add to this team to give it a real chance. Get a power hitting first baseman like Alonzo and two solid bullpen arms. They would have to trade allot of "farm" talent to make that happen though.
Thsi series with Baltimore showed me what I suspected that they are not competitive with them. Now let's see how they "compete" with the Yankees.

[monkeyman576]

I do not see them nor would I advise them trading one of our top 6 prospects except for Hancock.

3 run 9th inning comeback against the Yanks! now we just need to hold on.
